A Word from Our CEO

July 2013

It's been a busy past year at CheckMark and we're just getting started. We kicked things off with our Payroll Software rewrite last fall with the launch of Payroll 13.0. Then this past summer we launched our new, updated website to ease your nagivation and to make our site a better source of information for you. Now we're moving full steam ahead with our CheckMark MultiLedger Software rewrite and we are seeking your input. Your feedback and input is essential to us- we want to keep building our software and services to exceed your expectations and needs. Thank you.

Best regards.

Mohammed Ghani President and CEO

CheckMark is proud to support their employee Whitney who has embarked on a journey this summer around the country with Colavita-Fine Cooking Professional Women's Cycling Team as a domestique (read: worker). So far this year, her races have taken her to Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Idaho, Colorado, Oregon, and Delaware. Believe it or not, bike racing is very team-oriented with a team having a common goal and riders throwing themselves behind that goal. It is like NASCAR, others say it's chess on wheels. Either way, we know she works her tail off on the bike and at CheckMark. Colavita has been having a stellar season with tons of podium finishes.

Top Questions of the Quarter

Tis the season for many MultiLedger users to Close Year. If you are unsure how to close your year, please follow the instructions below. If you need technical assistance and are running MultiLedger 7.5, you can request support online (fastest option) or over the phone at 970-225-0387. If you are running an older version, you will need to update first which you can do over the phone at 800-444-9922.

How to Close Your MultiLedger Year The current version of MultiLedger allows for 30 months to be open at one time. When you try and save a transaction in the 31st month, you will be prompted that the date lies outside of the open period or is in a locked month. You will be prompted that you have entered a date that is invalid. To close a year in MultiLedger:

Make a backup using the Backup Company command under the File Menu in the program. Save the backup location that you can easily find and that is off the hard drive that you current data files are saved to. Rename the default backup name to a backup name that clearly labels this backup as a year end backup archive.

Use MultiLedger to Restore the backup you just saved to another folder clearly labeled as a prior year archive folder.

Re-open the company data files you wish to Close Year on. This should be the 2nd item in the list under the Open Recent Company command in the File menu.

Select Close Year under the File menu.

You will be prompted that a backup must be saved to continue to Close Year utility. Click OK.

Save a second backup to another location of your choice. Rename the backup archive to indicate a year end backup and choose Save.

When a backup is complete, you will receive a message, click OK.

You will be prompted that all the transactions through (date indicated on the message window) will be deleted. Proceed? Click Yes.

Backup and Restore instructions are located in the MultiLedger Manual.pdf located under the Help menu in your MultiLedger program and in other articles in the Knowledge Base.
